Latauriisha OBrien, known by his stage name Half Ounce, was a 32-year-old rapper from Los Angeles who was fatally shot on October 3, 2022. He was walking near his Koreatown apartment while on a video call with his pregnant wife when an SUV pulled up, made a U-turn, parked with its lights off, and a passenger ambushed and shot him multiple times at point-blank range. Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene after LAPD responded to multiple calls of shots fired; a suspect fled in the SUV. The suspect was described as a Black male wearing dark clothing.

Police say investigators developed a theory tying the killing to a robbery and an online feud. Two men, Anthony King, 37, and Dennis Risinger, 38, were arrested and charged; both pleaded not guilty and had a first court hearing set for November 6, 2023. OBrien was known for portraying a gangster lifestyle in his music and for affiliations with the Pirus and Bloods.

Does anyone have information about what happened that night or knowledge of surveillance or witnesses in the New Hampshire Avenue area in Koreatown?
